Oh yes, the "ma" thing. That was the worst part.

[MistressAli]

I like Antoine, and I don't really mind Dulcy. I always thought Dulcy was probably a child anyway, probably around Tails' age. The 'ma' thing is annoying, but not so much that it drives me crazy or anything.

I guess there's not really any FF's I dislike. If I had to list the FF's I had the least amount of interest in, then I guess it would be Dulcy, Rotor, and Tails. And that's probably just because they all needed a bit more development and spotlight.

Yeah, I have to say Dulcy...she's the most forgettable of the group. Usually when I think freedom fighters, Dulcy isn't among the list. Heck, I'm probably more likely to remember Lupe, Griff, and Ari over Dulcy, but that might just be memory repression.

I'm clearly in the minority on this: Sonic. Give me Antoine's goofy Engrish over Sonic's TOTALLY RADICAL early '90s catch-phrases. Granted, some of his lines were genuinely funny, but most of the time he was just kind of obnoxious, and I'll freely admit that I usually find lead characters more boring than the side characters.

Hell, I don't even mind Dulcy that much. And I like Antoine, but that may have more to do with the potential his character had than the actual character himself. :B

Heh, Sonic's way of speaking is a bit grating at times (one particular example is how he'd put "the ol'" in every sentence: "Hey! What's with the ol' vine?"), but I definitely like the character as a whole, though. But these days I probably like him mostly 'cause he contrasts with Sally.

I almost agree with you. But then it was the 90's, and I was a child, and I kinda liked it then.

In most cases, writers try to make the hero character more "plain" than the side characters. There's more of a guarantee that audiences can sympathize with him more if he's not displaying some strange side of himself, and there's more potential for a wide range of emotions if he's not too stereotypical. So that's why you find more interesting side characters a lot of the time.

Oddly enough, Sonic is one of the most stereotypical in the series, second only to Antoine (maybe even tied).

[The Man]

On a technical bases it must be Palio and Dirk because we know hardly anything about them.

[Massagraf]

Antoine's okay for a comic relief (MARGARINE) but Dulcy's just one Big Lipped Alligator Moment. She came right out of nowhere, she can fly but that really seems the only thing she does for the FF, doesn't fight and doesn't think of any plans, is very forgetable, and she doesn't fit in with the Freedom Fighters at all.

Freedom Fighters consist of:
A hedgehog
A fox
A squirrell
A rabbit
A coyote (a little bit out of place...)
A walrus (that's pretty weird...)
A dragon? (WHAT?)

Not to forget she's not funny at all and never had her moment. I'm warning by little brother and sister, who I addicted with this show, not too watch many episodes with Dulcy.

And last but not least: She looks just stupid. Is this a dragon?

No, that's a silly fat stupid looking winged lizard with a nose ring.


THAT's a damn dragon!

[Lord Exor]

I do not like any of them. I wish death and misery upon every single one.

[Velvet D'Coolette]

That is a damn good dragon you've posted there actually, Massa! I like it!

[Massagraf]

You do understand that this is not my drawing, just a google of 'Hungarian Horntail', do you

[Velvet D'Coolette]

Oh aye, actually it hadn't occurred to me that it might be your own artwork. But I like the art anyway. It's less macho dragon and more semi-amphibious, to look at it.

But they give Robotnik's life meaning!

[Marble Didymus]

I don't hate any of the characters, but they each have their own weak points.


Sonic: As mentioned earlier, the slang. Some of his dialog seem a bit off (dialog in general was one of the things that drug this show down). This is partially caused by Jaleel not being present with the rest of the cast during recording. Other than that, not much to say. It is his show. Could have used a bit more development.

Sally: I don't have much of a problem with this character, honestly. Again, [better] development would have been nice.

Antione: Good god, this character annoys the shit out of me. The cowardice infuriated me, and his constant whimpering and screaming are grating. He could have been cool if he had been more of a traditional type of hero for Sonic to play off of. Maybe sort a Rush Hour typed deal. Two heros, conflicting style. But no, they had to go with the cowardly French schtik that stopped being funny some 40 years prior.

Rotor: Don't have many complaints on him either, beyond lack of development and screen time. I would have liked the show to have delved into his and Sonic friendship a little more. Also, bad technical writing.

Bunnie: Like the character, minus the accent. I can't claim to have heard every varying dialect in the American south, bu there -is- a correct way to use Y'all, which is three or more. You'ns or y'ens is two. Her dialog in general was kind of terrible.

Tails: Like Rotor, lack of development and screentime.

Dulcy: I was never overly bothered by this character either. She was a bit childish, yes. That should have been toned down as the second season prgressed.

Uncle Chuck: No complaints. Great character.

The problem with SatAM in general is that it was a great idea that was executed in a mediocre (at best) fashion. True, it could have been alot worse, but it also could have been alot better. They should have picked one writer for the whole series. The aborted season three was no help either.

[acstrife]

I was disappointed in the dragons of mobius, even though its a cartoon show they could have at least tried to make them fit the dark setting. The small wings and wings on the feet cmon...

And her personality, yech!

Dulcy by far needs an overhaul.

[Lord Exor]

Nah, that's Archie Eggman. Robotnik give his own life meaning.
